This is not effective way. It's better to use map:

map $host $files {
default home;
mysite.tld home;
admin.mysite.tld admin;
x.mysite.tld misc;
y.mysite.tld misc;
z.mysite.tld misc;
}

error_page uses URI, but not file:

error_page 404 /errors/404.html;

location = /error/404.html {
set /var/www/mysite;
}

This is not valid way.

--with-md5- and --with-sha1= are required to build theses libraries
from sources.

mail modules are not built by default.
